Above the window or below the window? If you have never checked the caulk around the outside of the window, that would be the first place to start. If the window is a slider (but as I recall it is a crank out window) then it will have weep holes at the bottom that can become clogged and water will leak around the bottom of the window.

On my 2004 model, the rubber window moldings had shrunk and left small gaps at the joints. I put some clear chalking in those ares to seal the windows.

I had a similar problem on my 2006 Cf29CK model. The rear window would fill up with water and then leak down behind the chair. I checked the caulk between the aluminum window frame and the fiberglass........looked good. Then after watching closely during a hard rain storm it seemed the water was coming in around the black rubber seal. It would fill up the window frame and then drip down the wall. I waited until a hot dry day and dried everything out real good.Then I took a tube of black 100% silicone seal in a tube from Lowes and caulked the area between the glass and the black rubber seal. This totally stopped my leak without the time consuming job of removing the rubber gasket.



These windows are not slidders nor do they open in any manner. The glass is held in by the insertion of the black rubber gasket. By sealing between the glass and rubber trim seal all the water just runs off.

I'm late to this thread but I do have some experience with leaks.

When you say rear kitchen window, do you mean on the rear wall, or along the rear portion of the side wall?

If the latter, put some caulk on the two bolts which attach the awning brackets up near the roofline. Those are usually very poorly caulked. I had a big leak fix on our last trailer because of that.

And, silicone caulk is a no-no on trailers! It will work for a while. But when it fails, you have created a bigger problem because new stuff won't adhere well to the old. Plus it is almost impossible to remove all traces of it. Almost. Use Pro Flex RV sealant or Sikaflex or the equivalent. Crossroads uses "the equivalent" in black to seal around the plastic belly wrap.
